The C# language, pronounced see sharp, is an excellent way to work with Java and was in fact developed by Microsoft as part of Microsoft’s .NET project. C# has a beautifully rich .NET library and also employs XML as its primary technology.
Through this short article I am going to have a general discussion of C# and XML processors, with a limited overview of DOM tree and XML streams. *Overview Of XML Processors* The idea of processing, within the situation of an XML document or file, essentially implies to extract or pull out certain details from your file. Once pulled, this information is usually employed to develop another XML file or even an HTML file (known as the output), this process is commonly called a transformation. Hence an xml file can be processed to output an xml or html transformation. The exact processor which you decide upon for this job is solely up to, nevertheless, you must be aware that certainly not all processors are matched and your choice is very important, the wrong choice may effect badly on your whole project. Internet browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox, have in-built XML processors and might be employed to process XML files, however they are really much harder to employ since you need to give them processing directions through an XSLT document, specifically for the really complex jobs. An even more demanding choice is to use C# and Java to compose your own processor, however this really is time consuming and you will need to use the Java or .NET class libraries. The easiest option is to employ a readymade XML processor, they come in a variety of options from freeware just like Syntext Serna to very reliable, feature rich commercial grade XML processors like Liquid XML Studio<http://www.liquid-technologies.com/xml-editor.aspx> . *Processing XML Documents* You could use either of two methods to process your XML file termed offline processing and online processing. Offline usually means you don't need to to be connected with your XML source file directly, alternatively you have to load your document, in advance into memory as a DOM tree. This is often considered as the best way for processing your xml file in the event the xml is to be processed time after time because; whilst you lose memory you gain speed, which is all important with regards to processing. Online processing implies you should be linked to your XML source file to be able to process it, consequently this could be really slow, but you do use less memory. This process is much more suited if the processing is incredibly easy or maybe you're merely planning to process only parts of the file. Regardless of what method you choose to process your XML file, C# is versatile enough to support either method via its .NET library classes. The basis for the online processing is the XmlReader/XmlWriter abstract classes while the System.Xml.XmlDocument class will be the basis for offline processing. To make your XML document you use an XmlDocument constructor, this will form an empty XML document in memory. Inside this XML document you can utilize nodes to build up an XML tree to just about any intricacy or level you require, step-by-step. After building (or loading) an XML tree, you'll be able to navigate over it and shape it with XmlDocument's properties. To summarize, there are a variety of selections for processing XML files in C#, such as browsers, or you could make use of an XML C# tool such as Liquid XML C# tool<http://www.liquid-technologies.com/XmlDataBinding/Xml-Schema-To-Cs.aspx>, which helps save time in producing thousands of lines of error free code, instantaneously from a xml or schema file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DotNetDevelopment, VB.NET, C# .NET, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, XML, XML Web Services,.NET Remoting" group.
